Develop & Strategy Investment = $46 million

Spending in 2009 = $14 million

Spending in 2010 = $25 million

Spending in 2011+ = $ 7 million

Notes:

1. Cost shown are based on current information and therefore order-of-magnitude (+50%, -30%) in nature for comparison purposes only. Once a scenario(s) is selected, a more thorough and

detailed delivery plan and cost estimate will be prepared.

2. Investment to concept noted above includes investigation studies, pilot project, demonstration and feasibility studies only.

Integrated Transport

Masdar City will be the first land-based city to operate without fossil fueled vehicles

Walking, electric vehicles, cycling, PRT and LRT are the modes of transportation within Masdar City.

With 40,000 commuters per day, Masdar City will have strategically placed parking areas for fossil-fueled vehicles

What it is!

What it is not!

Masdar City

It is NOT a City in the traditional Western definition

No elected officials

Not a separate public entity

It is a Private Development

Tenancy Codes & Specific sustainability rules

Specific guidelines on fit-out requirements
